Summer brings heat, and very few vehicles can go unscathed in extreme heat. Whether you live in an area with extreme heat all summer long or only experience the heat for a day or two, your car can sustain damage. Here are tips to ensure your vehicle remains durable and healthy for the summer season.
Tips for the Heat
First and foremost, check your vehicle's air conditioning unit. You are in for a rough summer if your AC isn't working. Check the air pressure in your tires, top off fluids, and perform an oil change if you have yet to do so this year.
Drivers should also regularly clean their car, inside and out. Cleaning goes a long way toward keeping your vehicle shiny and healthy. Finally, keep your vehicle in the shade as often as possible if you can. Minimizing how long your vehicle is out in the sun can prevent damage.
